Bond Prices And How They Are Related To Yield to Maturity (YTM)
In this video, you will learn how to calculate the price of a bond. In the process, you will also learn what is meant by a bond's Yield to Maturity (YTM), and why bond prices and yields are negatively related to each other.
This video will also help you understand why/when some bonds trade at a discount (i.e. at a price LESS than their face value), why some trade at a premium (i.e. at a price that is GREATER than their face value), and why some trade AT PAR (i.e. at a price EQUAL to their face value).
Finally, and perhaps more importantly, after watching this video you will clearly understand the distinvtion between a bond's coupon rate and its YTM.
Students will particularly find this video useful in understanding parts of Chapter 8 (Interest Rates and Bond Valuation) of Corporate Finance by Ross, Westerfield, Jaffe and Jordan.

This is a very good video. It is clear and avoids ambiguity (which other videos and explanations about these concepts often do). Keep up the good work. The way to go is simple and clear.

Thank you! I do have a couple of videos on some ratios, but will make more and in the form of a series. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks
Good video! I have a question when the rr increased to 10% the value of the Bond became 877, and when It decreased to 6% It became 1147. Even tho the rr changed by the same amount, the price didnt change by the same amount. 1000-877 = 123 dollar price change, and 1147 -1000 147 dollar price change. Is this due to positive convexity in the Bond?

Great question! Yes, bonds vary in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates, and yes it has to do with convexity. You should look into “bond duration” which somewhat captures these ideas.
How do you determine the investor's required rate of return? Is it the next best available rate of return on an available safe asset, or maybe fed rate?

Required rate of return is always the next best rate you can get on asset of EQUAL risk! Not necessarily the fed rate.
can we say that YTM is equal to discounted rate ?
